Irvin D. Yalom
“Misanthropist’s manifesto: Do not tell a friend what your enemy ought not to know. Giving way neither to love nor hate is one half of world wisdom: to say nothing and believe nothing, is the other half. Distrust is the mother of safety. To forget at any time the bad traits of a man’s character is like throwing away hard-earned money. Better to let men be what they are than to take them for what they are not. By being polite and friendly, you can make people pliable and obliging: hence politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.”
Irvin D. Yalom

Elizabeth McCracken
“People think they're interesting. That's their first mistake.”
Elizabeth McCracken, The Giant's House

Molière
“Betrayed and wronged in everything,
I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king,
And seek some spot unpeopled and apart
Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart.”
Molière, The Misanthrope

Arthur Conan Doyle
“I dislike my fellow-mortals. Justice compels me to add that they appear for the most part to dislike me.

The Man from Archangel
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Captain of the Pole-Star and Other Stories

Charles Bukowski
“The human race had always disgusted me. essentially, what made them disgusting was the family-relationship illness, which included marriage, exchange of power and aid, which neighborhood, your district, your city, your county, your state, your nation-everybody grabbing each other's assholes in the Honeycomb of survival out of a fear-animalistic stupidity.”
Charles Bukowski, Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness
